Today marks my last official Monday of maternity leave. Holy cow has this time gone by so fast...
I will not lie and say I'm ready. Because the thought of going back to work...it makes my stomach upset. A lot. But, I'm also trying to keep perspective. Going back means good things too. It means Cooper is growing. He's nearly 10 weeks old and healthy and happy and wonderful. The holidays are quickly approaching. Me going back signifies that we're almost to Halloween, Jer's birthday and trick or treating, Thanksgiving and my favorite time of year, Christmas! We also are anticipating the birth of our newest niece Peyton and cannot wait to meet her! So while all of those things would come if I didn't have to return to work, I guess what I really mean is that I have things to look forward to. To keep us moving through the transition of me going back.
One day, I do envision staying home. But for now, working is what I need to do for our family. Luckily enough, it's part-time and it's flexible. That also makes it easier.
Anyway, there really wasn't much point to this post today other than to begin the count down. One week and counting! I'm hoping to soak up as many hugs, smiles and lovin' from my two boys this week I can get. Jeremy and I also have a few fun family days planned - all they consist of is spending time together. I'm envisioning some pumpkin getting, park visiting and living room dancing till bedtime! I'm also envisioning that when Sunday rolls around it'll hit me like a ton of bricks...but I refuse to let it tarnish the rest of my week!
Here's to soaking up the remainder of an absolutely amazing 10 weeks of my life!!
